The following string (UNIQ3e6d296734fe3fa4-h-0--QINU) is appended right in front of an 'h1'-tag on my wikis homepage (see: http://www.wikisilkeborg.dk/index.php5/Forside) and again below, where I'm using the extension "NewPages" to display a list of the 10 most recent articles. Does anybody know what the problem might be? Any thoughts are more than welcome as this problem relates to the mainpage.

That string is a place holder that the parser puts in under certain circumstances. Sometimes it only shows up the first time the page is parsed (try hard refreshing). Other times you are stuck with it. It usually has to do with how text is rendered through an extension.
Aw man, I struggled with that for DAYS a few months ago!
I was using the <tasks>...</tasks> extension, and using it in an indented list of any sort would break indenting, which rendered it useless for us. I finally this "UNIQ-QINU" crap, which was inserting a newline BEFORE indented lists were being parsed, which of course re- set the indentation level.
I commented it out of includes/parser/Parser.php, and that doesn't seem to have broken anything else, and now <tasks> work properly in indented lists.
By the way the UNIQ--QINU problem is mentioned a lot in the mailing list archives and is probably also mentioned in the MediaWiki site if you care to Google a little.
